This Game is a Love Letter

This Game is a Love Letter is a setting-neutral, dice-less, GM-less tabletop RPG inspired by the stories of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is about falling in love with the adventure of it all, a partner, a clever little story tucked in the cracks of society. 

This was not written to be notably profound or groundbreaking for TTRPG design. This game was written for one person. That’s not to say that other people can’t enjoy the game, but simply that the only intentions when creating it were to be a source of joy for that person. Though if you’re taking the time to play it, or even just read it, I do still hope it may serve as a source of joy for you too.
